选项
答案Interviewer: Well, Zhang Hong and Wang Kun, the last part of this speaking test is a discussion task. Your discussion topic is on this task card. You have about 30 seconds to read it carefully. After you have read the task, you will have a discussion on the given topic. Your discussion time is around three minutes. OK? Now read your task card. Well, can you start your discussion now? I’m going to listen to you and then ask you to stop at the end of three minutes. Wang Kun: Well, I think we should make some basic guidelines to smart investing. We should have clear goals. We will decide how many years we will invest for, what our needs will be in the future based on the condition of our company. And having realistic expectations is very important, you know, there is a saying "He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year. , Zhang Hong: I agree with you. And we should understand the range of possibilities. There is a diversified portfolio: One with a mix of stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and cash. Each of these products has different risks associated with them and also different potential rewards. Understand them before we buy, so there won’t be any big surprises later. Wang Kun: Yes, you are right. But in my opinion, investing money in the stock market is not the safest way in the world to make more money. There is no guarantee that the company will do well, and that the stock will go up. Zhang Hong: I can’t agree more. The stock may go up or down for a number of very complex reasons. Everyone wants the stock market to go up. but sometimes even when a company does well the stock may go down. This is usually true for all stocks. The stock market is a very interesting and complex part of the business world. Wang Kun: But that doesn’t mean we could not invest in the stock. If we do, we’d better stay in for the long term and we have to weather the storm and we should not be toe greedy. Zhang Hong: Yes, you are right. We can also invest in Internet, which can help us to promote or sell products. Wang Kun: Good idea. Similarly we can invest in new technology to explore new markets. Although we cannot get quick profit, it is for our sustained development. Interviewer: Do you think it is better to invest in many different areas, or in only one. Interviewer: OK. Now, Wang Kun, it’s your turn. Which topic have you chosen, please? Wang Kun: Management communication. Interviewer: OK. You have one minute to talk. Zhang Hong and I will listen to you. Zhang Hong, after Wang Kun’s talk, you have to ask him a question. Now, Wang Kun, you may start. I’ll stop you at the end of one minute. Wang Kun: There is little doubt that effective management communications can improve productivity, employee commitment, and morale. However, an average of 25% of all management messages are lost at each organizational level. Thus, it is really important to know how to improve communications effectively as a manager. Most managers can effectively improve their communications and productivity by some basic guidelines. First, in order to help ensure top performance, high morale, and to make your employees feel wanted, needed, and indispensable to the success of the organization, you’d better communicate your overall purpose. Second, communicate your expectations. In this way, tangible performance standards can be provided to subordinates. Third, you can provide feedback on performance. What’s more, communicate all changes. Subordinates react much better to changes when they know in advance that change is coming. Also, if at all possible, let the people affected by the change have a chance to comment upon the proposed change before it actually occurs. Finally, you can communicate face to face. During these personal contacts, it is important that managers communicate openly and directly. Do not hold back information; rather share it naturally and easily. Then . .. Interviewer: Thank you. Time is up. Now, Zhang Hong, what is the question you’d like to ask Wang Kun? Zhang Hong: Annual performance reviews are the most common ways of providing feedback, but why are they frequently ineffective? Wang Kun: It is because the manager does not honestly tell the subordinate what he or she needs to improve upon, and subordinates need much more information than what is in the annual review. Interviewer: Thank you.
